Prove it.
UConn told Ollie that he's not allowed to go to the Final Four because it's in Indiana. Wow...
Report I read said that UConn wouldn't pay for anyone to travel to the
Final Four, didn't say he couldn't go, but I doubt he does.....Indy better
fix that mess or the whole state's economy could collapse....
lmmfao!!!!

Almost had me there for a moment. April Fools I get it.
Travel already booked, like this, would go through.
Has any one read this law? Or is the whole dayum bunch just doing knee jerk reaction to sensationalist reporting?
I gave a quick search and found nothing much about it except Op-Eds
So if ya have link to a condensed version i'd like to see it,

I wonder if all those ripping Indiana have any investments in companies that do business in China or any Muslim countries? I wonder if Indiana's human rights record on gays and women is worse than Iran's, Saudi Arabia's, China's, Russia's, or others. Tim Cook from Apple is such a hypocrite.
Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.
If Indiana had state protection for LGBT as a protected class then this would be a non issue. They don't and don't appear to be heading there anytime soon.
If they did, it would defeat the purpose of the bill. So there's that.
The right claims that this mirrors the federal law and state laws that are similar. The difference is that those states have statutory protection for LGBT as a protected class and they DON'T treat a for profit entity as an individual, a la Hobby Lobby.
Public pressure on Apple has changed things in China factories that build Apple products. Made conditions a little less horrid. It's reasonable to expect a US based company with a US citizen CEO to have more influence here than those countries you list. The US government, backed by the worlds most powerful military, has limited influence there.
Wow. Looks like Asa Hutchinson has a brain - I would have lost that bet. I guess if you're the governor of Ark. and Walmart speaks, you listen.
I don't think that the Colts are going to pack up and move, nor will NCAA move their HQ... but future sites of major events like the Super Bowl and Final Four? That's the impact that backlash from this law will have."Boycotting a state"? Good luck with that. This **** will blow over in a short while. Corporations are not gonna move and peeps will still spend money. Get real.
Then again, after the fuss the Arizona Cardinals host city had over last season's Super Bowl maybe it won't be a bad thing if the NFL moves its combine, future Super Bowls and such outta Indy
Yeah, I don't see anybody moving anything over this.

But I thought the left was all about demanding moral purity and superiority? Isn't that why they condemn Christians....because they espouse a moral and ethical set of principles yet sometimes fall short of upholding those principles themselves? But it is OK for the left to pontificate about morality and ethics yet behave in a manner totally inconsistent with their public pronouncements.
See, that's how the left skirts around the Jesus thing. In principle they agree with what Jesus said and did but they disagree with flawed human beings trying to uphold those principles because they aren't perfect. So nobody can espouse a higher moral/ethical code because nobody can uphold that code perfectly the way Jesus did. To even attempt to uphold the code makes you a hypocrite in the left's eyes.
What was the basis of Mosaic Law? Was it religious or was it an attempt by early Jews to have some rules that promoted an orderly, functioning, self-propagating society? If the later was the real purpose then discouraging the acceptance of homosexual behavior was a legitimate goal and probably still is.

I definitely see businesses needing to hire creative/diverse people NOT moving to Indiana over this or any other red state for that matter. My daughter wants to be a special education teacher. I'm encouraging her to get certified in states other than Oklahoma because what I see on the horizon for our state education system is, to quote the great Clubber Lane, "pain".
I expect this to be a factor in future decisions, not in ones already made.
She'll get paid better in most, if not every, surrounding state. But by all means, get certified as many places as you can so you can seek jobs in more places and have more options if the first one doesn't work out.My daughter wants to be a special education teacher.

I've heard horror stories of first year teachers getting into bad districts and wanting to quit teaching forever afterward.
